Liverpool injury news: Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho remain sidelined for Norwich City trip
The injury crisis at Anfield is showing signs of subsiding but key players remain unavailable
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool injury crisis is finally beginning to subside although several players remain sidelined for this weekend’s trip to face Norwich City.
Daniel Sturridge is unavailable for another ten days as he battles to reach full match fitness and return to the starting line-up.
“He's not with the team at the moment, that's right,” Klopp said on Friday morning.
“But we have enough games this season when we hopefully can use him but not, if nothing happens, for at least the next 10 days.”
Philippe Coutinho, Dejan Lovren and Martin Skrtel are also out of contention, all with the hamstring problems which have tormented Klopp’s early days at Anfield.
Long-term absentees Danny Ings and Joe Gomez remain unavailable until next season. Adam Lallana is the only new injury concern, having picked up a muscle injury which puts him in doubt for the trip to Carrow Road.
After an impressive showing in midweek, Jordon Ibe is likely to be recalled to the side after only featuring as a late substitute in the narrow home defeat to Manchester United last week.
Jon Flanagan, who made his full return from injury against Exeter City on Wednesday, is likely to be named among the substitutes.
Who's in and who's out for Liverpool this weekend?
